Patent EP-1203892-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TERAMACHI HIROSHI
IPC: F16C33/50
Filed: 1995-05-22
Abstract: At least a ball escape hole (10) of a ball
circulation passage (7) is formed of a molded body (12) and
the molded body (12) is formed integrally with a block body
(13) having high rigidity through an insert molding
process, thereby eliminating a drilling working, possibly
reducing assembling processes and reducing generation of
noise. 
     It is preferred that the molded body (12) is
provided with an inner peripheral portion of a direction
changing passage (11) integrally connected with the ball
escape hole (10) and joined with both end surfaces of the
block body (13). 
     Furthermore, it is preferred that the molded body
(12) is provided with a retainer (17) extending along a
loaded ball passage (8) and integrally connected, at its
both ends, with the inner peripheral portion of the
direction changing passage (11), thereby providing a closed
sectional shape surrounded by the ball escape hole portion
(10), the direction changing portion (11) and the retainer
portion (17).

Abstract: A reclining device including leg portions (15c, 15d) formed in opposed end portions
of each of slide pawls(15). Basically, a rotating cam (16) bears the slide pawl (15) at a
middle bearing portion (15f) formed in a middle portion between the leg portions (15c, 15d).
Furthermore, the rotating cam (16) bears the slide pawl (15) also at the leg portions (15c,
15d). Such a three-point supporting structure prevents the middle portion (15f) of a slide
pawl (15) body from deflecting radially inwardly even in the event of application of a turning
force from an annular ratchet (12). Thus, the slide pawls (15) are stably maintained in mesh
with the ratchet (12).

Abstract: The performance of a direct feed fuel cell
such as, for example, a direct methanol fuel
cell, with an anode having a CO-tolerant
catalyst, such as a Pt-Ru catalyst, is improved
by periodically reducing the output power of the
cell to be less than the normal minimum output of
the cell. This is effected, for example, by
switching the cell at predetermined time
intervals to an open circuit or reduced output
power condition.

Abstract: A method for uniform pressing and compaction of parts, comprising a
first step (I), in which the powders to be pressed are loaded into the mold,
with the lower male plugs (Y0,Y1,Y2) arranged in a preset position with
respect to the upper surface (A) of the central female mold part, so as to
form containment volumes (V0,V1,V2) for the powder to be pressed in each
region of the part; a second step (II), in which the upper male plugs (X) are
made to descend at a substantially low pressure until they make contact with
the powder deposited in the female mold part and then each individual
region of the lower male plugs descends synchronously with the upper male
plugs in order to arrange the centerline planes of each individual region on a
same plane, which will be the horizontal plane of symmetry of the finished
part; a third step (III), in which the pressure increases gradually and the male
plugs of the pairs of male plugs of each region move symmetrically toward
each other with respect to the horizontal plane of symmetry of the part until
final compaction occurs.

Abstract: A thread wound golf ball having improved characteristics of moment of inertia, spin, and total flight distance, comprising a center, a thread winding layer disposed over the center forming a core, and a cover disposed over the core. The improved characteristics are achieved by shifting the weight of the golf ball from the center towards the periphery by use of heavy thread. This could be achieved by adding a high specific gravity filler material, such as tungsten, to the conventional thread compound and/or using polymer materials in the thread that are inherently heavier. By using a high specific gravity filler material, other desirable characteristics inherent in a wound ball such as resilience, controllability and feel, are not affected.

Abstract: An apparatus for operating a fluid dispensing gun (22) to dispense a
fluid onto a substrate (28) moving relative to the dispensing gun (22). The apparatus
has a sensor (80) that produces a sensor feedback signal in response to the fluid
dispensing gun (22) changing operating states. A control is connected to the
sensor (80) and provides first signals causing the fluid dispensing gun (22) to change
operating states. The control has a detector (82) producing a compensation
signal representing a difference between the occurrences of one of said first
signals and the sensor feedback signal. The control then adjusts a
subsequent first signal in response to the compensation signal. Thus, the
control automatically compensates the operation of the fluid dispensing gun
in real time for changes in the switching time of the fluid dispensing gun
required to change its operating states.

Abstract: Since there is a possibility that an application downloaded to a
terminal performs an invalid operation, an operation of the downloaded
application is very much restricted, and the application cannot use local
resources of the terminal 
     With the use of information for authenticating the application, which
is held in a tamper-resistant region of an authentication module,
authentication for the application downloaded to a download section of the
terminal is performed to confirm its source or whether or not it has been
tampered with. Only an authenticated application is permitted to use the
local resources of the terminal or the authentication module, so that an
invalid application is prevented from using the local resources. Further,
there is no need to make the terminal have the tamper-resistant region,
manufacturing costs of the terminal can be held at a low level.

Abstract: A recording medium having a spare area for defect
management and the management information of the spare
area, a spare area allocation method, and a defect
management method, are provided. When a primary spare
area allocated for slipping replacement and linear
replacement upon initialization, and a spare area
allocated for linear replacement after initialization are
insufficient, a supplementary spare area is allocated.
The sizes of the primary and supplementary spare areas are
determined by the number of defects generated upon
initialization. The information on the sizes of the spare
areas, and the remainder state information representing
the degree of use of the spare areas, are recorded, so
that the spare areas can be efficiently managed. Also, in
the defect management method, when an area that has
already been linearly replaced is allocated as the
supplementary spare area, defective blocks within the
allocated supplementary spare area are not used for linear
replacement, and the entries of a secondary defect list
(SDL) with respect to the defective blocks are not
changed.
